@byjacklynn: I visited Holyrood palace in Edinburgh, walking up the stairs to Mary Queen of Scot’s chambers, and then onto the room where her close friend David Rizzio was k***ed in cold blood by a mob of nobles led by her jealous husband. One account claims Mary tried to shield him, as he clung to her skirts but was restrained as they dragged him away. This event strained Mary’s marriage and her political situation - being a Queen in the Tudor / Stuart era was brutal 😢 #historytok #tudors #stuarts #maryqueenotscots #womeninhistory #scottishhistory #edinburgh #holyrood #davidrizzio
Mary Queen of Scots’ life was a perfect storm of terrible circumstances and shitty decision making

Her life was tragic and her son was one of the most heinous royals, his impact is still ongoing.

Just a note for viewers, that bloodstain isn’t original, it’s suspected that staff stained the floor during the Victorian era and is kept as a tourist attraction!

THIS IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE!! What upsets me more is she gave birth a year later but she was never allowed to see her son again when she was forced to abdicate when he was barely 1.

I was a kid on a tour of that place and I remember the guide showed us the spot on the floor that’s still said to be stained by Rizzio’s blood and I was *shook*

I appreciate how you present these with a reality check. Being royalty or wealthy doesn’t necessarily make life easier. No matter your position, title, or status, the world is cruel.

Ugh my fav european queen to learn about! I know the show wasn’t completely accurate, but in a way it gave her her flowers. She dealt with so much.
